Hello,

What should I avoid while taking valproic acid?

Drinking alcohol can increase certain side effects of valproic acid. Valproic acid may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert. Avoid exposure to sunlight or tanning beds. Valproic acid can make you sunburn more easily. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when you are outdoors.
